Baja Divide, January 2017

In January 2017, Topanga Creek's Chris Kelly embarked on an amazing bikepacking journey through the
Baja California Peninsula, Mexico, on a ride called the
Baja Divide. Baja Divide was
researched and organized by two wonderful souls - Nicholas Carman and Lael Wilcox. This self-supported
ride started in San Diego and ended in San José del Cabo (Cabo San Lucas) at the southern tip of
the Peninsula.

Chris describes the ride as one of the most memorable journeys he has ever experienced because of
the instant camaraderie and the adventurous spirits of the 100 ride participants who made the ride
truly special. And the incredibly warm hospitality of the people from the tiny Mexican towns
and villages they ran into was icing on the cake.

Huge thanks go out to Nicholas and Lael who made the ride possible. And now everyone can experience the amazing
Baja California on their own. For more information about the route please visit the
